When Emacs detects that it has been invoked to handle a mailto request and it is configured to outsource the job, which is the default nowadays and rightfully so, it should refuse and instruct the user to configure their default mailto handler otherwise or to configure Emacs to use the internal handler, which is bound to fail except under very special circumstances because direct e-mail messages will probably bounce.

So the browser has to figure out what it can use to send mail. So it looks around and examines applications that are ready to send mail. It happens the only such application is Emacs, so it launches another instance of Emacs. Da capo al fine. > So it sounds like what happens is according to how you configured your > system. Why do you consider this an Emacs bug?
